Characterizing Subjective Noisiness in Hospital Lobbies
Archives of Acoustics, 2015 The present study was conducted in the lobbies of 16 Taiwanese urban hospitals to establish what contributes to the degree of noisiness experienced by patients and those accompanying them. Noise level measurements were then conducted by 15 min equivalent

Perceptually Correlated Parameters of Musical Instrument Tones
Archives of Acoustics, 2013 In Western music culture instruments have been developed according to unique instrument acoustical features based on types of excitation, resonance, and radiation. These include the woodwind, brass, bowed and plucked string, and percussion families of

The acoustic and perceptual cues affecting melody segregation for listeners with a cochlear implant.
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 Our ability to listen selectively to single sound sources in complex auditory environments is termed ‘auditory stream segregation.’ This ability is affected by peripheral disorders such as hearing loss, as well as plasticity in central processing such as

The Louder, the Longer: Object Length Perception Is Influenced by Loudness, but Not by Pitch
Vision, 2019 Sound by itself can be a reliable source of information about an object’s size. For instance, we are able to estimate the size of objects merely on the basis of the sound they make when falling on the floor.

The effect of dynamic range compression on the psychoacoustic quality and loudness of commercial music [PDF]
, 2010 It is common practice for music productions to be mastered with the aim of increasing the perceived loudness for the listener, allowing one record to stand out from another by delivering an immediate impact and intensity.

Synchrotron radio emission in radio-quiet AGNs
, 2010 The basic mechanism responsible for radio emission in radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is assumed to be synchrotron radiation. We suggest here that radio emission in radio-quiet objects is also due to synchrotron radiation of particles ...

Spatial weights in loudness judgements
Acta AcusticaIn everyday life, the auditory system often receives input from various sound sources at different positions in space more or less simultaneously. The present study investigates how listeners weight different spatial positions when judging the overall ...
